Hello,
I'm 90 lbs down from my highest (315) and 60 lbs down from my pregnancy regain of 90 lbs (280). I'm looking for support groups, advice, etc to help me lose the last 30 of my regain and another 20 to 40 beyond that. My body seems to be at a set point (220), and I'm fighting hard to get myself back into wonderland. I've got an instagram for support, but local support would be great. Also, if anyone who has also gone through this (actually losing the regain) and would like to give me some suggestions/advice as I continue my journey, I'd appreciate it.

Hi jennifer - the Mayo has a support group that meets once a month -- it's open to the public. It's the 3rd saturday of the month, 9 to 11 in the hospital building (the room is just to the right of the lobby).

Did you ever get any answers? I am on AHCCCS but a different plan. My PCP referred me to Dr. Blackstone. I am going to a seminar next week. It took 2-3 months to get it scheduled.
I am so lost multiple Drs have suggested that the best way to manage My PCOS symptoms, to have any chance of children I need weightloss surgery. The problem is none seem to know how to get the process rolling with Health Choice of Arizona... no surgeons are listed under covered providers, I call the 1800# and am given a name and number for a gasterenolgist that does not do it. I know it may be a 6-12 month process I just need a starting point.
Right now i am a little over 15 years out from my RNY surgery. I was down to 197 at my lowest but ended up putting it all back on and little extra. February 2016 I had a heart failure scare. A lot of it from the weight i had put on but mostly fluid that had built up in my system. since then i have been on a diuretic. At the time of my heart scare I know i was back up to 336 pounds. Since then i am back down to 243 pounds (as of this morning). Ive been feeling fine but havent been able to start a exercise program again like i want to because of health issues ive had with my feet. But i think I am closer now to getting back into a gym and wanting to lift weights again.
With this being said - how many grams of protein should i be getting in daily(regardless if im lifting weights or not)? I was reading an article that recommended men getting in 56 grams of protein daily for optimum weight loss.

I thought we were suppose to shoot for between 80 - 100 grams of protein for men? Is there a better protein drink to take? I was thinking about using and had previously used optimum nutrition whey proteins previously and liked them but read a subsequent article that was pretty much making a blanket statement that all protein drinks were not good and filled with sugars and cancer causing chemicals (i realize this was probably a BS story but still wanted to ask).

Hello,
was your revision approved through insurance? Was it hard to get approved for your revision? Thank you

Looking for a support group to go to in Prescott or Prescott Valley Az? Anyone know of one?
Hi everyone!
I know this must get asked a lot, so I'm sorry for repeating. ;)
The one part of me that bothers me the most is my arms. I have so much skin and I really really hate it.
I know that insurance won't cover this, but does anyone know a good doctor here in AZ that may work with payments? I also have tattoos on my arms, so I need to be careful with that too. :/ It's just getting to the point where it's driving me crazy!
Thanks so much
